Steve Israel, D-N.Y., said Sunday. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco last week blamed racial issues for the GOP's failure to act on immigration legislation. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., said blaming racism was "both wrong and unfortunate." Israel and Walden appeared on CNN's "State of the Union."

2Terrorism trial: Jury selection begins Monday in New York City in the trial of an Egyptian Islamic preacher on charges that he conspired to support al Qaeda, in part by trying to create a terrorist training camp in Oregon 15 years ago. Prosecutors also say Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, 55, arranged for others to attend a camp in Afghanistan and ensured that there was satellite phone service for hostage takers in Yemen in 1998.
